Dustin Rhodes took part in a Q&A during Starrcast II this weekend. During this, he was asked what he thinks was the backstage reaction in WWE to AEW’s ‘Double Or Nothing’ PPV.
Dustin revealed that he received texts from 30 WWE employees about the show.
Here is what he said (h/t to Ringside News for the quotes below)
“I think the internal reaction was ‘wow, there’s a life outside of prison.’ I would say about thirty of the WWE including employees texted me last night and telling me ‘ oh my god awesome, incredible I love the show’ so they watched the show.”
“Everybody watched it and the people who say they don’t watch it might not watch it — most of them are full of sh*t if you’re a wrestling fan and I don’t know about the boss. I don’t know if Hunter or Vince or Stephanie watched the stuff, but some of the office personnel did and it makes me feel good that something else was in the spotlight that shows there is life out of WWE that is shining and it was magical last night.”
On a related note, here are some more details on the future of Jon Moxley after ‘Double Or Nothing’.
